SPECIFICATIGN forming peut of Letters Patent No. dated July 1'?, 1960. Application filed Merch 23, 1900. Berici lio. 9,892. (Ile model.)

To @ZZ whom it may con/:ern: Y Be it known that l, JOSEPH T. ROBIN, e. eitif.Y zen of the United States of America, ije'eiding in the borough of Menliattanycity, county, and State .of New Yok, have invented certain new end useful Improvements in Belts, of which the following is a specification. My invention relates to belte, and more panticnlerly to a. freine employed in the making thereof. f

tion and then point cnt-tbe novel features thereof in a claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figui'e l is? c. View of o. frame for use in making belts embodyingl my invention. Fig. 2 is e. view similei' to Fig. l, 1ont showing a modification. Fig. ie a. sectional View taken on the line 3 3 of Fig. l. 4 is a. `sectional. view taken on the line 4 4. of Fig. l. Fig. 5 ie a View of e. Figs. 3 and i are drawn to a largerecele than Figs. l end 2.

Similar letters of reference designate correeponding parte in all of the figures. l A represents e frame the several parte of erebly spring-wire ie employed. The frame comprises the longitudinal pieces a .a, the end pieces c a.' for connecting together the longitudinal pieces a @,and nnumber of broccpiecee a? intermediate the end pieces. All of the pieces comprised in the frame are enitnbly connected together. In the present Vinstance the several parte are connected by soldering. in Fig. 1 the longitudinal pieces nre higher at their middle points, and consequently' the middle brace-piece ai ie longer than the others. ln Fig. 2 the longitudinal pieces o. a ere straight. The longitudinal pieces may be bent to have any desired en rve.

B repreeentsmuslin orother fabric inciosingtlie several parte of the frame. 4The ende of the muelin or other fabric' inclosing the end the 'muslim or other teorie incloeing the longitudiual pieces a c, or, if desired, the cove-V yings of the end and bra-ce pieces may be pnt on first and the coverings of the longitudinal pieces afterward, they being pasted or other wise secured to the coverings of the end and 5o brace pieces. The purpose of the mneiin or other fabric is to serve as e. menne for securing ribbon or other materil'wtl which the treme is to be covered in the formation of e, belt. The arrangement of the fabric sections is snc-h that they brace one another, eind enel: section oi* port thereof is prevented from twist ing around its portion of the treme. -finothei advantage in having the fabric ooveringe in stripe is tnet the epaceebetween tlie parte of the frame are left open, thereby enebling the ribbon or other fancy covering to be eeeily attached.y Instead of having tile febric in strips to leave the spaces above referred to the fganie may be completely inoloeed.

C represents the ribbonoicther'meterial covering-tbe frame, which is shownin full lines in Fig. 5 and dotted linee in Figs. 3 nndl. D represente rings secured in the loops profs' videdintlie ends of the materiel C.

E represents fastening-pieces for the ende of the belts. 'L

What I claim ne my invention ie-m f.- A resilient freine, for nee in melting-belts, which is wider at its middle portion than et its ends, coneeting of longitudinal, pieces, straight end and brace pieces connecting the longitudinal pieces, end a. covering for each brace endend piece and each longitudinal ypiece.

in testimony whereof l have einied.l mynzime to this epecicetion in the preeence et.. two subscribing witnesses.
